I'm still a kid inside, and adventure is adventure wherever you find it.

" Jim Dale" Quotes

I took a little trip to the library with my niece and just like Jim Dales quote stated, it was an adventure back to my childhood.. The visit however... was to entertain my niece but I found it just as, or even more entertaining then she did.... Here's why?

I still love and collect dolls... and was surprised to see them displayed in the library

Below: I forgot the name of this character and the book... isn't he funny...just don't leave him on your dresser in the dark...Lol!

Below: There were little animals displayed over every book self...

Below: I still read children's books......I spent at least a half an hour laughing to myself as I read and scanned through the books.... This one got my attention... Hilarious!

The Mural of the train..was the back drop for a large wooden train designed for the children to play in..I hate that I forgot to take a picture of it because it was really cool...

You can see part of the train in this photo..Isn't it cute...

Below: The train station check-out

Below: KID"S ZONE...
"Okay teens stay upstairs, this area is for the little kids.. My nice is only three, but she can search the net like a pro.... I meant to get a photo of her in action... but I was so engrossed in the books I forgot..

Kids can also play and read outdoors....

Below: There are three floors in the Library. The lower floor belongs to the younger children...doesn't it remind you of a Mall..

Below: A little gift shop called The Library Store

"Well guess who started pouting and crying when it was time to go?
Here's a hint...It wasn't my three year old niece pictured below waving back at the kitty in the book...

" Okay I came to my sense's on the way out when I saw and heard this.... At times my video uploads stop working for reasons I don't understand.. but you get the idea.... Click the arrow on the screen anyway and see what happens..

Sister and brother Mary Ann and Joe of Ohio. Mary is now a resident of Ducan South Carolina and has been so for at least 13 years. Joe was here visiting her and his former town, he told me that he had been away from South Carolina for 33 years. Many people like myself, Marry, and Joe, have history in the south and are returning to our roots.

Pink fountain water..."Oooo reminds me of strawberry jello before it turns into a solid.

There's cute little shops, stores, and restaurants, that I have not investigated yet.... But I will later.

Upstate forever... got to check it out too.. It's the place to go when you need to learn more about the upstate. The Upstate is a region of counties in the foothills of the Carolina's .

Below: WHOLE FOODS MARKET of Greenville....It's a place where you can buy all sorts of goodies from organic herbs and groceries to this....

Candle budda....

Handmade Local soaps......

And a TRADER JOE"S .... just a stone through away right down the street. One of the pluses I like so far about living in the UPSTATE is that you won't miss many of your favorite stores... "Okay they don't have Kmart to my knowledge, or Kroger's....But you will find Walmart.... Lol!

Hello my blogger friends, I'm here in the State of South Carolina. The South will now be my new home, but where I permanently land is unknown at the moment. This is a Temporary touch down, GA, SC and NC, are all contenders.. And for now I'm staying with relatives until I find my bearings.

My sister took me site seeing and she knew exactly what I wanted to do first... Go visit a garden

Below: A few photos of Hatcher Garden a public garden and woodland Preserve here in South Carolina.

I love Gazebos...

And this cute little bridge with ferns...

Below: A close up of those gorgeous Elephant Ears in the back ground above; correct me if these are not Elephant Ears.. I won't mind.. But I think I'm right.

Below: A Banana tree

Below: I also love all kinds of conifers...I believe this one is a Japanese conifer

More conifers...

This is unique..Wish I knew what it was...I got to do some researching

Below: Love the grasses...

Below: This shrub has an intoxicating citrus scent... It's got to be a citrus, but what kind I wonder?

" aaah the relaxing sounds of water.

Below: click to see and hear the water...

I love frogs, I hope to have a few in my future garden

Very unique... I have no idea what it is, several of the plant markers that Identify these plants were missing or not replaced.
